How to Build a Body That Moves in the 100-Year Life Era

The definitive guide to the 'Sako Method'!

A muscle-strengthening technique developed from clinical rehabilitation experience with Kazuo Nagashima!

Easy to read with large text, photos, and diagrams—core concepts made instantly clear!

The 'Sako Method' is a muscle-strengthening approach that enables people to walk independently at any age and prevent illness and dementia.

It was born from the author's eight-year clinical experience supporting the rehabilitation of Kazuo Nagashima after his stroke.

The author is a brain science rehabilitation physician who conducted approximately 200,000 brain imaging diagnoses as a neurosurgeon and later transitioned to rehabilitation medicine, treating around 20,000 patients.

The Sako Method is not just about physical training. What the author truly wants to convey is a method for living 'authentically and joyfully.'

'I believe we should live aiming for our own kind of coolness at every age—60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, even 100s. With age comes a deeper human strength, charm, and richness in life. The Sako Method is a way to live 'coolly and proudly.''
